Letters Patent No. 90,798, dated June 1, 1869.:

IMPROVED BUCKET.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making-part of the aame.

' I attach handles 0, oufeach side, so that the bucket, pail, or kettle may be carried by two persons thereby.

To all wlagm it may concern Be iaknown that I, JOHN H. TOMLINSON, of Ohicago, in the county of Cook, and State of Illinois,

.have invented a new and useful Improvement in Buckets; and I do hereby declare that the fo'llowingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in.v he art toImake and" use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part-of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful imp rovement in buckets and pails, and, all bailed vessels of a similar nature, as pots and. kettles, whet-her formed of wood or metal, which have hitherto been handled by bails, and consists in attaching, in combination with the bails of such vessels, handles, as will be' hereinafter described. v

The accompanying drawing represents a bucket provided with handles, accotding'to my invention, or in combination with the-bail.

A is the bucket. y

B is the bail, which is attached to the'bucket in th ordinary manner, on each-side.

To the same pivots "which support the bail, or to other pivots on other parts of the rim of the bucket,

In this example of my invention, the handles are rigidly attached to thehail, so that they turn up when the bail is turned down, and vice oersm- The position of the bail when the bucket is so carried is shown in redc'olo r, as is the position of the? handles. Y

It will be seen that when the bail is in use, thehandles are not in the way, and so with the bailwhen the handles are in use.

By this simple and inexpensive device, the handling of large bailed vessels of the ordinary size, containing heavy materials, is greatly facilitated.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- In combination with a bailed vessel, the handles 0, arranged substantially as and for the purposes herein shown and described. 4 v

JOHN H. TOMLINSON.
